A teenage hacker finds himself framed for the theft of millions of dollars from a major corporation. Master hacker Dade Murphy, aka Zero Cool, aka Crash Override, has been banned from touching a keyboard for seven years after crashing over 1,500 Wall Street computers at the age of 11. Now keen to get back in front of a monitor, he finds himself in more trouble than ever.
The Contemporary Wardrobe was originally set up in 1978, by costume designer & stylist Roger K. Burton as a specialist hire company to supply vintage street fashion, couture items and accessories to the Film, TV and Fashion industries.
Since its inception Contemporary Wardrobe has always been renowned for being at the forefront of cutting edge style. Born out of a passion for youth culture, and recognition of street fashion’s importance in our social history, the collection now exceeds some twenty thousand garments, mostly designed between 1945 and the present day, and representing a multitude of diverse British and American youth movements and cult fashions. Including definitive items and classic pop fashion from seminal boutiques such as Mr Freedom, Biba and Seditionaries, and the couture houses Yves Saint Laurent, Dior and Givenchy.
